Five Great Novels About Brisbane

On recent trips I’ve read ‘Daughter of the Killing Fields’ by Theary Seng (Cambodia), ‘Around Africa on my Bicycle’ by Riann Manse , ‘Chasing the Monsoon: A Modern Pilgrimage through India’ by Alexander Frater and ‘Venice’ by Jan Morris.

Beat the heat at the City Botanic Gardens

A great place to beat the heat or just get away from it for a while in the CBD is the City Botanic Gardens.

The river frontage provides a top opportunity for walking, cycling or just sitting. The Gardens are open 24 hours a day and the pathways are lit at night. There’s free wi-fi throughout.

Follow George, Albert or Edward Streets east to Alice Street and you’ll be at the Gardens within 10 minutes.
